Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist

“Okay, but the time I can spend with you is limited. When I want to leave, I hope you can let me go.” Shen Ying tilted her head slightly, looked at Murong Xiangxun with honest eyes, and stated her conditions.

Murong Xiangxun nodded slightly, a hint of pleasure in his eyes, and replied softly, "Of course, as long as you can stay with me, even for just one day, it will be enough for me."

Shen Ying looked up and glanced at Murong Xiangxun with pity in her eyes, thinking to herself: Although he is the villain in the plot, he is actually just a ghost who is afraid of being alone, and he doesn't seem to be any different from a human.

After all, ghosts were once human, and they naturally possess all the emotions, desires, joys, sorrows, and other feelings that humans have.

Murong Xiangxun's lingering in the mortal realm must be due to some obsession, right? I wonder what his obsession is? Is it hatred?

In the end, after Murong Xiangxun was moved by Chu Feng, his resentment dissipated and the old house returned to peace. However, it was not mentioned what happened to him in the end. I wonder if he entered the cycle of reincarnation as commonly believed.

Thinking about this, Shen Ying realized she was overthinking things, so she decisively banished those distracting thoughts from her mind.

The room was completely silent. Shen Ying felt a little uneasy, so she spoke again: "When we were attacked by the black mist before, you were the one who drove it away, right? Also, when we wanted to leave the old house but were trapped inside, that was also your doing, wasn't it?"

Murong Xiangxun nodded frankly in acknowledgment.

She already had a guess in her heart, and the reason she asked was just to confirm her own thoughts.

At this moment, Murong Xiangxun's gaze gradually deepened. He stared intently at her, his eyes seemingly suppressing some complex and intense emotion.

The room fell silent once again. Shen Ying lowered her head, feeling as if she had forgotten something. Suddenly, the image of Lin Ruo and Chu Feng's faces filled with fear and worry before she was dragged into the darkness flashed into her mind, and she couldn't help but feel a little worried about them.

So she looked up at Murong Xiangxun and said seriously, "Since I'm staying here with you, I need to explain the situation to my two companions, otherwise they'll be very worried about me. Also, I hope you can let them leave here and let them get out safely."

The moment Shen Ying looked at him, Murong Xiangxun concealed his emotions. He nodded slightly, his calm gaze revealing a hint of doting, and said softly, "Alright, whatever you say."

"Let's go!" Shen Ying said, lifting her foot and heading straight for the door. But before she could take a few steps, Murong Xiangxun reached out and grabbed her arm.

Shen Ying stopped in her tracks, turned around in confusion, and looked at Murong Xiangxun with a questioning expression in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, Murong Xiangxun smiled gently and explained, "This is a space I created for cultivation; they are not here. Don't worry, I'll take you out now."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scenery instantly became blurry, as if everything was covered with a veil.

However, this situation did not last long. In the blink of an eye, Shen Ying and Murong Xiangxun appeared in the living room of the old house.

Shen Ying looked up and immediately saw Lin Ruo and Chu Feng.

They were in a defensive stance, staring intently at each other, but the moment they saw Shen Ying, their faces lit up with a mixture of surprise and delight.

Lin Ruo couldn't wait to run towards Shen Ying, looking her up and down, and reached out to take her hand.

But before his hand could touch Shen Ying, it was pushed away mercilessly by an unseen force.

Lin Ruo staggered backward uncontrollably, crashing directly into Chu Feng's arms as he rushed up to her.

Chu Feng instinctively reached out and steadily supported Lin Ruo.

After regaining her footing, Lin Ruo looked on in surprise, staring straight at Shen Ying, not understanding what had just happened.

Shen Ying was equally bewildered, her hand still frozen in mid-air, maintaining its outstretched position.

She was overjoyed and ready to reunite with her friends. She subconsciously reached out her hand to the other person, but then she saw Lin Ruo stagger backward as if she had been pushed hard by something.

Chu Feng's gaze passed over Shen Ying and landed directly on the handsome man with a cool and aloof face behind her. His eyes were filled with inquiry, and his expression was thoughtful.

The man stood there quietly, his expression indifferent, as if he didn't care much about anything around him.

However, Chu Feng keenly sensed that beneath this seemingly indifferent exterior, there was a hidden, intense passion in the man's eyes as he looked at Shen Ying.

Chu Feng's intuition told him that this man had an extremely strong possessive desire for Shen Ying.

Chu Feng stepped forward and asked, "Shen Ying, I'm so glad you're alright. How are you now? Are you hurt?"

Shen Ying snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "No, I'm fine. How about you guys?"

Lin Ruo quickly replied, "What could possibly happen to us? I was just worried about you! You have no idea what happened back then. I almost thought I would never see you again!" Lin Ruo still feels lingering fear when she thinks about how harrowing it was.

Although Lin Ruo and the others were so worried about her because of the original owner of this body, Shen Ying still felt a surge of emotion. She smiled and said, "Thank you all. I am so grateful to Murong Xiangxun for saving me."

Then, Shen Ying introduced Murong Xiangxun's situation to the two of them, and also mentioned her agreement with him—she would stay here with him for a while, and Murong Xiangxun also agreed to let Lin Ruo and Chu Feng leave.

Upon hearing this, Lin Ruo immediately objected: "No, how can that be! He is a ghost after all! Even if he acts friendly now, who knows if it's just a facade! I don't agree!"

Murong Xiangxun's cool blue eyes swept indifferently over Lin Ruo, and he slowly said, "What Shen Ying wants to do is none of your business."

Standing to the side, Shen Ying glanced at Murong Xiangxun. Although he looked calm, she could vaguely sense that something was wrong with his mood; he seemed a little unhappy.

Shen Ying's heart skipped a beat. Indeed, it was just as Lin Ruo had said.

Although Murong Xiangxun always acted gentle and friendly in front of me, no matter what, he was still the villain!

If we upset him, everyone will probably suffer as a result.

Thinking of this, Shen Ying quickly reached out and slapped Lin Ruo hard on the back, pretending to be angry as she said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are you questioning my judgment and ability to judge people?"

Shen Ying's slap was quite forceful. Lin Ruo was caught off guard and her body jolted violently after being slapped. Her throat itched, and she couldn't help but cough.

He frowned slightly, his face full of helplessness. He turned his head and glared at Shen Ying, his tone tinged with dissatisfaction, and said loudly, "He's a ghost, not a human!"

Shen Ying was speechless after hearing Lin Ruo's words. She raised her hand and gave Lin Ruo a flick on the head, saying irritably, "You blockhead! You were a human when you were a ghost, what's the difference? Humph!"

Lin Ruo stiffened his neck, his mouth slightly open, about to continue arguing, but Chu Feng grabbed him.

Chu Feng remained calm, looking peacefully at Shen Ying, and asked gently, "Have you thought it all through?"

Shen Ying raised her chin slightly, nodded seriously, and replied, "Mm."
